Fun dogging my x12


Well I have been riding on a R6 the last couple of weeks and yesterday I decided to take out my old x12. All I have to say is the x12 scares me now at high speeds. My real bike is way more smooth and stable and just all around safer feeling then my x12.
I kept hitting the dam back brake everytime I wanted to shift. Its kind of funny cause when I first got the R6 I kept trying to shift without using the clutch because I was so used to the x12. Anyway I tore the crap out of the bike(x12). Riding wheelies like there was no tomorrow . Riding threw my back yard doing grass burnouts and 180 skids. You'd be suprised how much smoke will come off the back tire when brake torqueing it. Those little chinese engines can take some abuse. Well I just thought I would share my experience with everyone.. Good day

Yes after riding a big bike these little bikes are just not the same. FYI you can shift the big bikes without a clutch but on the up-shift but I have also
heard of riders down shifting also without a clutch but have yet to see it done. Just be careful when doing this because I don't know if Yamaha has fixxed this problem but their past year R 6's and even some R1's had a bad 2nd gear synchro but again they may have solved this issue.
